Whats up guys, and gals i suppose. I have a 97 bandit thta i want to turn into a fighter. so far since i got it i have repainted the tail section, removed the rear fender, relocated and put in smaller turn signals, made a new plate bracket under the tail light.

My next steps are towards removing the front farings and adding a new headlight. Where can i get a headlight conversion kit in a reasonable amount of time, street-fighters usa is like 4 weeks. I found a nice setup on banditmania, but they are overseas so i cant order from them. Any suggestions? i am game for either a large singe or dual setup.

After that i am going for performance. What is a good pipe to use? do i rejet after the pipe? and what is a good combo for front and rear sprockets? Thanks for the help guys, you have built some nice ass bikes, i hope to follow soon

Streetfighter parts are not very common here in the US. You may have to wait the 4 weeks. As for pipe...Hindle, Akrapovic, Yosh, D&D, Vance& Hines all make pipes for your Bandit (if its a 12) the 600 is harder to find a pipe for. Most pipes you need to jet for and I would go to a K&N at the same time.
